CCCFP Protocols on Marine Spatial Planning, Aquatic Foods Traceability, and Combating IUU Fishing
Set of three protocols approved by the Ministerial Council of the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism under the Caribbean Community Common Fisheries Policy. The protocols establish regional frameworks for marine spatial planning, aquatic foods traceability, and combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. They are intended to help Member States manage competing uses of ocean space, improve confidence and transparency across seafood value chains, protect fisheries from illegal activities, strengthen sector governance and sustainability, safeguard the livelihoods of legitimate fishers, improve market access, and contribute to food and nutrition security.
Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity
International agreement supplementary to the Convention on Biological Diversity that seeks to ensure an adequate level of protection in the safe transfer, handling and use of living modified organisms (LMOs) resulting from modern biotechnology that may have adverse effects on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity, taking also into account risks to human health, with a focus on transboundary movements and in accordance with the precautionary approach. It establishes an advance informed agreement procedure for imports of LMOs intended for introduction into the environment and a specific procedure for LMOs intended for direct use as food or feed, or for processing. It also includes provisions on risk assessment and management, handling, transport, packaging and identification of LMOs, the Biosafety Clearing-House, capacity-building, public participation and consideration of socio-economic effects, particularly for indigenous and local communities.
